KALISTA

As kids, we know that we can be hard headed sometimes. I went through that phase myself, being clumsy, free from enjoyment, and happy.

There's this boy that used to be my classmate when I was in 7th grade, his name is Akiro Sebastian Gonzales pero I call him Aki.

Hindi ko gusto si Aki noon, or maybe that's what I'm trying to say to convince myself na hindi ko talaga siya gusto.

I have many memories with him, pero may isang hinding hindi ko makakalimutan. This was way back when we were in 7th grade.

Lahat kaming magkaklase nasa labas ng classroom even if we were told to not leave the room by our teacher. Like I said, we were hard headed.

I sat on the bench made with cement while watching my classmates play, I miss those moments.

While enjoying the peace that surrounded me, I got distracted by the shout of one of my classmates.

"Andyan na si ma'am!" Sigaw ni Irene

Nagtakbuhan na silang lahat at sumunod rin ako. Nakita kami no'ng teacher and she got mad, I started running but my clumsiness came along.

Nadapa ako, stupid. Akmang tatayo na sana ako nang may biglang nadapa din sa itaas ko, tumayo na siya at sumunod naman ako.

Aki.

Tinignan ko siya ng masama at sinabunutan, tumatawa pa siya parang sira. Nang bitawan ko ang buhok niya, nahuli kami ng teacher.

That fall... that's the moment I fell.
